Today the Mozilla add-ons team introduced Add-on Collections<\/a>. Collections enables anyone to create their own collection of add-ons that can be shared with their friends, posted on blogs, and featured on the Firefox Add-ons website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Justin Scott<\/a>, Mozilla’s add-on ninja, explains Collections in further detail on the Mozilla Add-ons blog<\/a>, excerpted below:<\/p>\n

\n

Starting today, visitors to the add-ons website will see a brand new look with collections of add-ons front and center. We\u2019ve integrated collections throughout the site, and created a Collection Directory that showcases all of the add-on lists created by our users. There are a number of Mozilla-created collections that are featured throughout the site, but we hope to replace these with useful community-created collections in the near future. If you find a collection you like, logged-in users can mark it as a favorite to easily get back to it later.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Besides creating your own collection, you can also subscribe to other collections and be notified when new add-ons are published to them.<\/p>\n

\n

You can subscribe to a collection via RSS, or you can install the Add-on Collector<\/a> extension for Firefox. The Collector turns your favorite collections into subscriptions in your browser, where you\u2019ll be notified as soon as new add-ons are published to one of your collections. The extension has a number of other features<\/a>, including the ability to share an add-on you have installed with a friend by e-mail, publish an add-on to one of your collections, and set up a collection that is automatically kept up to date with your installed add-ons.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To get started, check out the Collection Directory<\/a> to experience collections and fashion Firefox the way you want it.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the team has also launched an entire redesign of the Add-ons site, which aims to do a better job of explaining add-ons and helping both new and experienced users find fun and useful add-ons through exploration. Nick Nguyen<\/a>, Mozilla’s director of add-ons, goes into more detail on the Add-ons blog<\/a>, excerpted below:<\/p>\n

\n

You\u2019ll see we\u2019ve integrated a new promo module that will allow us to feature collections of related add-ons in the top area as well as feature a simple tour that will communicate the value of an add-on to users who have never tried an add-on before.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
